Slight difference between fighting in AC and fighting in front of a rabid Nottingham crowd cheering Froch's every punch wouldn't you say?

I think Ward probably wins regardless but it's definitely going to be a tougher fight in the UK (or Denmark for Kessler).

Well, my friend, you're making an entirely different point. You're a true fan who just wants to see the fight in Froch's backyard. You're not the one screaming that Ward's never been out of his comfort zone unlike other posters. I just disagree that Ward would be affected at all, in the amateurs (Yes, I know it's different) he fought allover the place and that was before he matured into an experienced pro boxer. Given the level of a fighter Ward is, and the focus, poise and mental toughness he's shown, I can't picture a louder crowd affecting him, it's going to take a helluva lot more then that to throw Ward off his game, and I think that's more or less been proven by now. That's all I'm saying.
